Boyz in the Hood is a mythical boulder problem hidden in the town of Truckee, CA. It was first established by the Tahoe legend Charlie Barrett in the early 2000’s. At the time of its ascent it was the hardest boulder problem in Tahoe and has the reputation of being impossible. The problem reached mythical statues within the local bouldering community and for years the problem sat unrepeated. A few years ago the second ascent finally fell to Joel Zerr and since then the popularity of the problem has increased and the lack of information has been broken. Currently... ]]>Sun, 06 Jul 2014 00:29:00 -0400147862014-07-06http://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-0005-1404606584.JPGhttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-0038-1404606585.JPGhttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-0077-1404606586.JPGhttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14511-2013-was-an-awesome-year-kim-beckerhttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14511-2013-was-an-awesome-year-kim-becker
Lots of firsts, a few checks off the bucket list, and too many adventures to count. Here's my Top 6 of 2013!

The 30th annual Clackamas River Festival took place this year the weekend of May 18/19 2013. The two day event is part of the Western Whitewater Championship Series, a summer long series of races across the Northwest. With only three races left after Clackfest, paddlers came out in full force to gain points, and enjoy the festivities: rafters, stand-up paddleboarders, driftboaters, whitewater kayakers, even inner-tubers!

This is my fourth competition of the season. There were 58 climbers in the open category. The out-of-town climbers came only from Toronto and Montreal.The Coyote Rock Gym is a famous place for competitions in eastern Canada. They always put on a good show for spectators and have good problems for competitors.The qualifying round was not too hard and many climbers did the hardest problems. After three hours of climbing, I completed six problems in the top seven problems. This score put me in eighth place in the finals. I was nervous because all the climbers were in excellent... ]]>Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:38:00 -0400139772013-03-27http://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_coyote-1364395081.jpghttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13952-colette-mcinerney-take-five-with-510-athlete-gabri-moronihttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13952-colette-mcinerney-take-five-with-510-athlete-gabri-moroni
I first met up with Italian Gabriele Moroni, 25, two years ago it was on the other side of the world during Petzl’s Rock Trip in Getu Valley China. Besides having perfect English and negating my perceived perception that all Italians had dark hair, Gabriele stuck out in my mind from his incredible climbing performance. Gabri, as his close friends call him, was one of the only among a trove of talented athletes in attendance to send the Rock Trip’s “Ultimate Route” Coup de Bambou, 9a (14d). When I saw Gabri again this spring in Catalunya Spain he seemed... ]]>Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:37:00 -0400139522013-03-15http://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_margalef-1363343865.jpeghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_van-1363343865.jpeghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_moves-1363343866.jpeghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_comp-1363343866.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dog-1363343866.jpeghttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13926-return-to-hueco-jon-cardwellhttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13926-return-to-hueco-jon-cardwell
I've been climbing in Hueco ever since I can remember. I grew up in the desert expanse of New Mexico and the soaring syenite formations of Hueco Tanks were never too far away. My coach at the time and good friend, Lance Hadfield first introduced me to the boulders. I was twelve years old and it was my first time climbing outdoors. My mind raced, and I was hooked immediately. That first trip open my eyes to what climbing is about. I subconsciously made the decision to visit these rocks as often as I could in... ]]>Sun, 03 Mar 2013 17:15:00 -0500139262013-03-03http://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1351-1362330905.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1470-1362330905.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1599-1362330906.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1448-1362330907.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1485-1362330908.jpghttp://fiveten.com/images/jreviews/_dsc-1451-1362330909.jpghttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13681-video-big-worm-v14-by-lt11-with-dave-wetmorehttp://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13681-video-big-worm-v14-by-lt11-with-dave-wetmore
In 2008, Dave Wetmore suffered a debilitating finger injury that has plagued his climbing career. After fully rupturing the A2 pulley on his left ring finger and having a rarely done reconstructive surgery, his doctor told him that climbing would be nearly impossible, especially at a professional level. After a year of rehabilitation Dave hit the bouldering scene with a new found drive. Dave set his sights on a V14 in Colorado called BIG WORM and never looked back. This is the story of Dave's experience with BIG WORM.
